Chapter 623 Abandoning India

French Navy!

Until now, the French Navy has almost no essential loss, and, in the claim, the French Army is the first in Europe, while the French Navy is also ranked among the top four in Europe.

Now, the British Navy is disabled, and they have long set their sights on the French Navy's ships. If the French Navy can be incorporated, the strength of the British Navy will be restored in an instant!

Now, France's prospects are not optimistic. If it is a little pessimistic, it is even a matter of time before France surrenders. At this time, Britain is even more impatient.

So the British ambassador came over to ask the French Prime Minister.

When Churchill came to Paris, he discussed with Renault. At that time, Renault agreed.

Now, after hearing the British ambassador's words, Renault thought for a moment and said, "No problem, when we move to the new capital, we will give orders."

The British ambassador could only watch Prime Minister Renault pack up his things and leave. Originally, he wanted to say, can the order be issued now? However, he still did not say that although Britain was very anxious, it could not urge the French government too much, otherwise it would backfire. When it was moved to Bordeaux, come to Renault again.

Now, send a telegram to London first!

London, England.

The conference room of the Prime Minister's Office was filled with a strong smell of cigars, and Churchill was smoking one by one.

He looked at the others and pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray: "As the Prime Minister, I have this power. Now, we must sacrifice the interests of India in exchange for the Soviets' dispatch of troops."

Now, the situation on the European continent is not optimistic at all. France's surrender is right in front of us. Moreover, Cialek has already said that after fighting France, the Germans will land across the sea and attack Britain!

Originally, Britain was not very afraid of the threat of German landing across the sea. You should know that no matter how powerful the German army is, it cannot fly. The English Channel is a natural barrier.

However, when the Germans landed across the sea and suddenly landed in western France, the British were surprised to find that the Germans really had this ability. Before they knew it, they actually had an extremely powerful navy, a century-old navy! How did the Germans do it in just a few years?

It's incredible!

It is conceivable that the war that Britain is about to face is terrible and cruel.

For Britain, the only chance was the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union could join in, it would be quite beneficial for Britain. If the Soviet Union provoked war in the east, the Germans would have to deal with the threat from the east, and then Britain would have a chance to buffer.

It takes time for the UK.

After World War I, Britain did not want to fight. Britain was simply destroying its own martial arts and investing less and less in national defense, so that the navy's ships were almost all the foundation of World War I.

And now, finally, Britain has moved into war mode, and all resources have been concentrated to serve national defense, but they need time.

The Germans conquered France in less than half a month. If the Germans were allowed to take up the land of Britain, it is conceivable that Britain would soon perish.

"We must let the Soviet Union join in. At this time, only the Soviet Union can give us time. If we delay a year, we can reorganize a powerful expeditionary force. If we are given two years, our navy will be able to recover to fight against the Germans. If we are given four years, our Britain will be stronger than at any time in history!"

Time, Britain needs time! Without time, Britain cannot have hope of victory in this war.

The Soviet Union has already set aside the conditions, which is to ask India.

The British colonization of India was initially started with the East India Company, which was doing business in India. Gradually, the East India Company became a tool for British colonists to invade India.

During this period, many twists and turns, especially the uprising in India in 1857, the British government made major adjustments.

The UK abolished the East India Company and the Minister of Indian Affairs took over all its powers; and established an Indian government headed by the Governor of India. In this way, India entered an era of direct rule by the British government.

India is very important to the UK.

India has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population. The land in the Ganges Basin is fertile. It can be said that India is an important place for cheap raw materials in the UK and an important place for dumping products in the UK.

During the invasion of China, almost all the y** sold by British merchants to China were produced in India, which was an important means of the primitive accumulation of capital in the early stages of British capitalist development.

At the same time, India's strategic position in geographical areas is very important, guarding the major transportation route from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and is the forefront of Britain's invasion of Southeast Asia.

Now, just by relying on a verbal promise to send troops, the Indian colonies were to be handed over to the Soviet Union. Such an approach would not be supported at all!

In the past few days, the parliament has been in an uproar. Some members of parliament have even openly claimed that Churchill is a traitor, which is even more hateful than Chamberlain. Chamberlain sold France to Germany, and Churchill sold Britain to the Soviet Union!

After all, Western Europe is still capitalism, while the Soviet Union is different from their ideology, which is even more unacceptable. Since the establishment of the Soviet Union, Britain has always been hostile, but now it is necessary to make good friends with the Soviet Union and even throw India to the Soviet Union?

How can this be done?

If Churchill's proposal was usually made, he might lose his people's hearts and step down. However, it is now in the war period, and according to the emergency bill, Churchill could bypass the parliament when necessary.

Now, Churchill just wants to use his special power to make a decision directly, but at least, senior government personnel must support him.

Now, Britain is even more pitiful than in history. France is defeated and Britain is about to usher in a war. The most depressing thing is that the United States is still out of the matter until now and is unwilling to get involved.

Therefore, Churchill can only find other foreign players. It is worth it if he uses India to exchange for the Soviet Union's troops!

Churchill was trying his best to convince his companions: "Let's take a step back and say, what's the use of those lonely colonies in the country if our British were taken down by Germany? The British Empire is gone!"

If you have a choice, all colonies can be abandoned in exchange for victory. In order to preserve the British mainland, all kinds of interests can be abandoned!

"I support the Prime Minister's view." Finally, a voice said in the corner of the conference room.

This is an army general with a somewhat tired look, and a very few British Expeditionary Generals who returned from France, Montgomery. 8)
